[Suns-at-Home] Netra X1 Solaris Headaches

[Mr Eric Rudolph Pizzani]

Hey all,
I recently acquired a very nice looking Netra X1, however it has a  
show stopping problem.

When it attempts to boot off it's internal hard drive (which has  
Solaris 9 installed) it locks up at the spinning stick (After  
displaying the solaris copyright notice.)
It also does the same thing when I attempt to boot off a Solaris 10  
DVD (using a Pioneer DVD-ROM drive) and a Solaris 10 CD (using a Sony  
CD-ROM drive).

Sometimes it'll also mention an Fast Data MMU Miss or something when  
you run any sort of boot command- this virtually guaranteed to happen  
if bootmode is set to forth (as opposed to breaking the boot process  
before it locks up, and then booting off the DVD/CD.)

Now, the strangest part is that the NetBSD 3.0 Installer CD will boot  
to the installation screen. I know that there can't be anything wrong  
with the Solaris media, as I have reburnt the Solaris CD twice, and  
the Solaris DVD has worked fine when setting up an Ultra 10.

Any suggestions?

Eternally in your debt,
-E.
